Just get the 19 row and block it off during winter times.
For some reasons the Z feels sluggish and engine sounds crappy on a slow phased traffic mid afternoon its like the car is being choked.
Most high performance engine hates to be driven slow as it needs the air to cool it off. Besides the Z is prone to suffer engine heat soak in traffic on a warm weather.

That is where I felt the difference of having the oil cooler. The car still drives smooth. Somebody also suggested here change your oil to a synthetic one. I use redline seems to work in harmony with the engine.

I run full synthetic Mobil1 on her.

I have the 2010 and it didn't come with the oil cooler to my knowledge.
